The War Of The Worlds XBLA Side-Scroller Out October 26

Other Ocean Interactive has done some beautiful work on the upcoming digital download release, an adaptation of the classic H.G. Wells alien invasion sci-fi novel, The War of the Worlds. Looking at it, it's easy to think back to another downloadable feast of eye candy from last summer, Playdead's Limbo.

Fortunately, it looks like we won't be waiting much longer for Other Ocean to drop the side-scrolling platformer, provided you're an Xbox 360 owner. The game comes to XBLA on October 26, the developer confirms on its Facebook page. PlayStation 3 and PC releases will follow "soon."
